PRUNING TREES.

We prune our trees in order to
promote or preserve their beauti.
full proportions and better adapt
them for the purposes for which
We desire them: also to rid them
of broken or diseased branches. or
throw their strength into the pro-
duction of wood or fruit, as the
case may be desirable. Cut out
the wind-broken or shivered limbs,
shorten those that are dispropor.
tionately long and likely to be
broken by wind or snow-storms
cut away all branches that encroach
upon road or pathway, and here
and there in young trees thin out
crooked, crossing, or superabund-
ant branches. Old trees seldom
need thinning. But be merciful!
don't prune tree unmeaningly:
the less pruning you can get along
with, the better. In all your oper.
atoms use clean sharp tools and
make clean cuts. Don't leave
snags or butts either in the case
of small twigs or big branches,
but cut right back to an eve. fork
or stem. If you don't the snags
will die back any way, become a
Disagreement, and often carry dis
ease to adjacent parts.
The best time for pruning trees
depends on circumstances Tn
summer when the trees are in full
leaf We cannot very well see how
best to thin the head and give it
the best symmetrical form, hence
We often shirk that duty till fall.
But in cases where big limbs are
to be removed, summer is to be
preferred, as large wounds made
then heal over more quickly than
do those made in winter. In
winter we cannot well distinguish
all the dead branches in our tree
tops, hence that is better attended
to when the tree is in full leaf.
In summer we don't want to
litter up our gardens by pruning
trees, hence delay 1t till winter. In
winter it is too cold to be agreeable

Working the Highways.

In many sections of the East,
there is q growing dissatisfaction
with the old method of working
roads, i e., where each resident
along certain ''beat," or road
section, works out his assessed
time thereon. The general result
of such labor is poor roads. Peo-
BILE nowadays wantsomething better
than is furnished by the old road
system, and the advent of improved
woodworking implements shows
that better roads are easily obtain
able. The prevailing arguments
against the contract system are
that persons not owning real estate
or personal property are, of course,
exempt from taxation, and conse-
quently from woodworking; under
the old system they are assessed
one day at least, and must work
or commute. And taxpayers,
already burdened, it may be, object
to the payment in cash for labor
which they can perform themselves
with out great inconvenience. Here
the objection to the old system
may be mentioned. viz, that labor
on the highway is one thing, OF
the farm another. Everyone knows
that, as rule, the days work OF
the road is" cut short at both ends"
that boys labor often counts at
mans labor; that the roads are
worked once in the spring for al
the year, and at a time when sue
work may not be most nee ded
that the day is often nothing more
nor less than a holiday. If perfect
roads are the desiderastum, the ole
system fails to furnish them, or
system fails to furnish them, OF
only in exceptional cases. The
contract system is more expensive
until the road-beds are once put in
good order, then less money need
be expended upon them. And
yet, If a man values his time and
labor at the low price of one dollar
per day, the expense objection is
largely overcome. Where the
contract system is adopted and
once fairly tried it is not often
rejected.--American Agriculturis1
